All reigning Maryland Championship Wrestling (and other) titleholders
held on to their belts, "The Dancing Sensation" wound up regretting
giving his erstwhile "Dancin'" tag-team partner a second chance, and
the appearance of WWF stars highlighted the MCW card held at the
Volunteer Fire Hall in Denton, MD, on February 18.
Attendance estimated at 375. MCW commissioner: MR. JACK ADONIS. MCW
communications director: PETE McDEVITT. Music provided by BIG DADDY
PRODUCTIONS. Ring announcer: STEVE VENTURELLA. Timekeeper at the
bell: JEFF AMDUR. Ring attendant: PERRY KURZ. Referees for the
evening: DAVE "THE WAVE", BARRY ROBERTS, and D. EDWARDS.
PETE McDEVITT welcomed the crowd by announcing that MCW will be
returning to Denton on a regular basis throughout the year. He was
then interrupted by CUEBALL CARMICHAEL, who complained that he has
been screwed over by MCW when it comes to the quality of the
competition. He's been wrestling in the area for several years now
and has yet to get a title shot. So JACK ADONIS obliges Cueball, as,
to the haunting drum/trumpet music and led to the ring by security
staff brandishing sparklers, out came the current WWF
light-heavyweight champion, none other than GILLLLLLLBERRRRRRRG.
MATCH 1: GILLLLLLLBERRRRRRRG pinned CUEBALL CARMICHAEL in 2:27. As
Cueball grabbed the light-heavy belt and brandished it high in the
air while taunting the crowd, he turned around and was hit by a
devastating Gilllllllberrrrrrrg spear and then pinned.
MATCH 2: DINO DIVINE pinned MAD DOG O'MALLEY in 8:12. Dog tried to
follow up a chokeslam with a middle-rope splash. Dino moved out of
the way and was then able to roll up Dog for the pin.
JACK ADONIS came out again. He called out STEVIE RICHARDS and said
that normally the dethroned tag team champs would have first crack at
regaining the title in a rematch, but because of the recent bad blood
between Stevie and EARL THE PEARL, the rematch wouldn't happen.
Stevie then called out Earl, and explained that he had cracked due to the
pressure of all that had happened to him over the past year, and asks
for forgiveness. As a sign of his sincerity, he gave Earl a chair
and asked him to give him a chairshot, although such a chairshot
could kill him because of that neck injury. Earl refused, and said
that if Stevie wanted to prove his sincerity, he would be his partner
once again in a rematch for the tag title. Jack Adonis agreed to the
match, and Earl and Stevie left the ring shaking hands.
MATCH 3: In a tag-team contendes' three-way dance, BACKSTREET (JOEY
"THE FUTURE" MATTHEWS & QUINN NASH, with PLATINUM NAT) beat THE BALD
AND THE BEAUTIFUL ("WISE GUY" JIMMY CICERO & JULIO "THE LATIN DRAGON"
SANCHEZ) and two members of THE FAMILY OF FREAKS (BRUISER &
"DOOMSDAY" DANNY ROSE) in 20:52. Joey first pinned Julio after
whacking him with Nat's "good book". Cicero came into the ring and
grabbed the "good book" and was prepared to plonk Joey in turn; but
Joey moved, and Cicero zapped Bruiser instead. Matthews then covered
for the pin, and there were words between Cicero and Bruiser after
the match.
A rant by heavyweight champ ROMEO VALENTINO complaining about no
opposition was answered as JACK ADONIS says that Romeo would face
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT later that night in a no-disqualification match.
They were in turn interrupted by TOM BRANDI and manager ROYCE (t)C(w)
PROFIT, complaining about a lack to title shots and a general lack of
opposition. Corporal then came out and said that MCW has indeed
found an opponent for Brandi tonight: HEADBANGER MOSH. Royce and Tom
scattered, but eventually the match started.
MATCH 4: HEADBANGER MOSH beat TOM BRANDI by disqualification in
15:57 in a wild match, as there wound up being too much interference
from the "TCW" camp. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT eventually came to the aid
of Mosh. The fans could see alliances forming among Brandi and his
fellow Italian Romeo Valentino, and on the other side between
Corporal and Mosh.
MATCH 5: CHRISTIAN YORK retained his cruiserweight belt by pinning
ADAM FLASH in 10:32. Adam missed a top rope leap and was
schoolboyed by Christian. After the match, Adam, who thought he was
given a fast three-count, tried to get his hands on referee D.
EDWARDS, but the ref ran to safety.
MATCH 6: 2-DOPE & SIDESWIPE (with DONNIE B. & BOBCAT) pinned STEVIE
RICHARDS & EARL THE PEARL in 13:06 to keep their tag-team belts. The
former champs looked like they were in control until suddenly,
Earl was Steviekicked and rolled up for the pin. After the match,
Stevie taunted Earl, slapping him in the face, calling him a "piece
of crap", and boasting to the crowd that he had to be "the best actor
in Hollywood today" since Earl bought his "sincerity" act. All three
refs had to help the woozy Earl back to the lockers.
MATCH 7: ROMEO VALENTINO (with DINO DEVINE) pinned CORPORAL
PUNISHMENT in 7:16 to keep the MCW heavyweight title. There was
constant interference in the match from Divine as well as from the
intruding TOM BRANDI and ROYCE C. PROFIT; but referee DAVE "THE WAVE"
couldn't do anything because of the no-dq stipulation.
After the match, the members of "TCW" (Profit's disciples) pummeled
Corporal until HEADBANGER MOSH made the save. Corporal then asked
Mosh to be his partner in a tag team match that he demanded be booked
for the next MCW card in Denton. Mosh, whose usual partner THRASHER
is still recovering from an injury, agreed.
And speaking of that next card, MCW will be back at the Denton Fire
Hall on Thursday, April 15. Stay tuned to these boards for further
news.
